[Docket No. ER97-2045-000]


AMVEST Power, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 2, 1997.
    AMVEST Power, Inc. (AMVEST) submitted for filing a rate schedule 
under which AMVEST will engage in wholesale electric power and energy 
transactions as a marketer. AMVEST also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, AMVEST requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by AMVEST.
    On April 15, 1997, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Applications, Office of Electric Power Regulation, granted 
requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to 
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities 
or assumptions of liability by AMVEST should file a motion to intervene 
or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, AMVEST is 
authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as 
a guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security 
of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for 
some lawful object within the corporate purposes of the applicant, and 
compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public or private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of AMVEST's issuances of securities or assumptions 
of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is May 15, 1997. Copies of 
the full text of the order are available from the Commission's Public 
Reference Branch, 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
